I agree. Turtles are addictive. And they do grow and reproduce. Slow and steady.

All gold colored, not real gold metal. From Strapcode. Hard to get, constantly sells out. But they will send an email to you when restocked.

scarlet knight, do the gold tones of the bracelet and the case match?

I got a two tone bracelet from strapcode. Unfortunately, the gold tone is not quite the same as the case. But i still use the bracelet for the watch. Prefer it to the rubber strap the watch came with.

It matches exactly. The website says that the bracelet is made for the Seiko Turtle. It is consistently sold out, so if you wanr one, ask for email notification and when it is in stock, jump on it. They also have full gold in the Endmill design in stock.

If you look at my pictures of the back and side of the bracelet, you will recognize that it is a great match. I guess it could fade over time, but we’ll see. I got the idea for this bracelet from other posters on this forum.

Thanks. Registered myself for the gold bracelet. Seems the TT bracelet is for the SRP775.

I agree. Did not figure this out myself. The other posters informed me.

Just ordered the gold bracelet.

Would the TT bracelet fit a tuna?

Yes they are custom solid end links made specifically for the prospex turtles, they have the fat spring bar holes too.
